Stayed from Mon - Fri. Warm welcome and everything we needed. The cottage was spotless and great for the 4 of us. Location was just right providing a village feel but local attractions being relatively close.

The cottage was very clean, but sadly the view from the front of the cottage was from the bedroom, downstairs you are looking at roofs and chimney pots. The patio overlooks the houses below and you feel you are looking into their living room. The cottage could do with a few homely touches it seems soulless, when downstairs you are looking at a wall with a television on over the dining table from the other settee you are facing kitchen units the window is at the back of you, we would say a car is necessary as the cottage is up a rather steep hill, and the walk to the village and railway station is rather a long walk

I’m sorry to hear you were disappointed with your stay. I would urge any potential guests to look at the pictures in our listing as these clearly show what the Cottage is like. I feel confident that there are sufficient furnishings to provide a homely touch as our aim is to look clean and modern, as opposed to chintzy. If you prefer old fashioned this is definitely not the place for you!

As to whether a car is necessary this depends entirely on the guests. We’ve had lots of guests stay who arrived by train. A large proportion of our guests also choose to leave their car at the Cottage and utilise the train. My daughter has walked to school and back since she was 3 and this is further from the Cottage than either of the pubs or the park. I can walk to the pub and train station in 5 minutes, though I walk fast, so I always advise guests it’s a 10 to 15 minute walk. I agree though that the Cottage is up a steep hill so may not always be suitable for all guests. The parking space is however directly outside the Cottage porch on a flat area. Also, I pushed a double buggy up the hill when I was heavily pregnant so if you have a good level of fitness you’ll find it a doddle!

I’m really proud that out of the 53 Reviews we’ve received 51 are 5 out of 5, 1 is 4 out of 5 and this is our lowest at 2 out of 5. Unfortunately I think you had unrealistic expectations. I received £230 for a four night booking for four people. I believe that less than £15 per person per night is fantastic value for the standard of accommodation we offer.

I would advise you examine a property listing in more detail in future and wish you all the best in finding somewhere you enjoy.

Great 3 nights stay at High View Cottage, the cottage is of a very high standard, very clean and very well equipped for a self catering stay. Gemma the owner was very helpful with information before we arrived and when we were there. We strongly recommend at stay here. David & Andrea.

My wife and I sought a quiet cottage in North Yorkshire, with easy access to Skipton, York, and cycling in the Dales. The accommodations were clean and comfortable, and a shor walk to the Cononley Train Station gave us a break from driving and got us wherever we wanted to go. There is only one pub serving meals in the village, but it is a friendly place with good food. The guest book provides recommendations for other excellent pubs nearby.

My husband and I stayed at this peaceful location with wonderful views for a week in June - we would like to have stayed longer. The cottage was spotlessly clean, well equipped and with the most comfortable beds. Some cottages we have stayed in have had very poor internet connection but this was not the case here, we were able to keep in touch with our family as well as download the newspaper every day.Although we had a car we preferred to use the train from the village station where you can easily reach Skipton, Saltaire, Bradford and Leeds. From Skipton you can catch a train to several destinations - a highlight being on the Settle to Carlisle line passing through well maintained and attractive village stations and travelling over the famous Ribbleshead Viaduct.There are walks from the cottage and also if you go back up to the main road by car you can park in the layby then scramble up the bank to reach the canal footpath which you can walk on all the way to Skipton. Thank you to Gemma for being a great owner, there if you needed her but otherwise you were not aware that she lived next door.
